Plain-English summary
3T Cycling Srl is recalling approximately 325 Ventus Ltd and Ventus Team bicycle aerobars. The recall involves specific models including the Ventus Ltd, Ventus Ltd 17, Ventus Ltd Gold, Ventus Ltd Track, Ventus Team, and Ventus Team 17. These aerobars were sold in black with red or silver stripes and feature "Ventus" and "3T" logos on the top side of the bar.
The recall is being issued because the two rubber hand grips on the aerobars can loosen or slip off during use, which poses a fall or injury hazard to the rider. Two incidents were reported to the manufacturer involving adults who sustained minor abrasions.
The affected aerobars were sold nationwide through independent bicycle retailers and Internet retailers from January 2008 through November 2009. Prices ranged from about $1,000 for the Team models to $1,200 for the Ltd. models. Consumers should stop using the product and contact BikeMine toll-free at 1-877-861-9125 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday to receive a free redesigned rubber grip set and adhesive kit, or for information on how to bring the bar to a local retailer for repair.
